AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 In a footballing sense it breaks my heart that we have a player of his quality playing and wanting to play for us, with a manager that puts his professional investment into players like Jonas and Perch. It's tragic. One hand is pinning the other one down. Doesn't Pardew love Hatem as well though? I get your point about Jonas and Perch but this is a dodgy example. What's love got do, got to do with it? Nah, but seriously. What's that got to do with it? Pardew loving him doesn't change the point that he's hamstrung by Pardew's 'style' I though your point was that Pardew prefers Jonas and Perch. In fact he obviously rates HBA as one of our best players and starts him every game. I agree our poor general play is affecting him, but it affects everyone. The point was more far reaching than Ben Arfa regarding the players that Pardew invests more in. Examples being Jonas and Perch being clearly seen as more valuable than Marveaux and Gouffran. Pardew shouldn't be anywhere near his profession imo. Ah right, fair enough then, just not what I was responding to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 2 years left innit? Might be a good time to renegotiate that in case we put ourselves to ransom with one year running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I just walked past, he's still there. Everyone else has gone home, the serving staff have fallen asleep and the chef has gone out to catch a cat as he's run out of meat. Hatem was chewing on the table to keep him going until the next course. Every all you can eat buffet in Newcastle is quaking in it's boots right now.

He'll go nowhere. Next season is WC season. At Newcastle, he'll play week in, week out. Going elswhere might be risqy. If he can stay injury free, he'll be great, just like before the Euros...

KDT Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 This might just be wishful thinking but I think he actually likes being here, the big fish in a relatively small pond (on field success). Given how much of his early career was wasted I think he sees this as a good situation for him, he likes the city, seems to get on great with the other players and the manager. He knows he's pretty much the main star. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Yeah, he seems happy here for now but if we have another disastrous season next year then I think the patience of our better players will be streched thin. Next season is going to be so important to us, if we can do alright then we have a good chance of keeping our big names and pushing on. Don't even want to think of the 2014/15 squad if we're flirting with relegation again next season. Jesus, 'flirting' with relegation, we took it home and banged it senseless this season.

KDT Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Yeah, hopefully they see it as one bad season and don't want to jump ship just yet. Next season is massive. Realistically the top 6 is set, although if Spurs sell Bale that might change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
